No, "frapper" is a verb, so frappe-clavier becomes a compound word and
"frappe" is not conjugated. I do not know whether one should write
"frappe-claviers" though, but probably not, because there is
only one "clavier".

Yes.

OK; it just surprised Sylvie.

The word "rognage" again surprised Sylvie; troncature sounds better.
Also, troncature is frequently used in mathematics for this operation.

Agreed with what? This sentence just sounds strangely;
maybe it should be reformulated.

No, it rather refers to the LaTeX format (even though that format
is ill-defined) in my opinion.

That is OK too.

In fact, we should have a tmdoc-author style and a tmdoc-reader style.
I am still thinking about how to do this, because one should always
save under the tmdoc-reader style...
